Join Mark Todd on May 7 at 11 am at the Museum of Coastal Carolina when he will discuss southeastern North Carolina’s native species of carnivorous plants. Some of the plants Todd will discuss include Venus Flytraps, Pitcher Plants, and Sundews. Children who attend this program will learn how to care for Venus Flytraps and will be able to bring one home with them.
